Problem Background: The KEYDIY KD-MP Tool typically reads original MLB keys without issues. However, users may encounter a specific failure during MQB48 data collection: the tool successfully reads the Key ID and begins the server upload process, but then terminates with a "Server self-check failed" error.

This usually indicates a synchronization issue between the local hardware reading and the server-side validation, rather than a standard network outage.

1. Verify Software Version (Crucial) The most common cause for this error is outdated firmware or software. KEYDIY frequently releases patches to fix key-reading bugs. Current Stable Version: V1.8.7 (Released Feb. 2026) or later. Action: Ensure your KD-MP software is fully updated. This version specifically addresses MQB48 data collection stability.

2. Hardware & Wiring Inspection If the software is up to date but the error persists after the tool reads the Key ID and uploads it to the server, check the physical connection: Solder Points: Inspect the board for cold solder joints. Whether you are using pogo pins or soldering wires directly, ensure all points are securely re-soldered according to the official pinout. Wiring Accuracy: Cross-reference your physical connections with the official KEYDIY wiring diagram for the specific MQB48 module you are servicing.

3. Signal Interference & Positioning Environmental factors can disrupt the high-frequency data collection required for MQB48. Adjust Positioning: Change the position of the board or the KD-MP unit to exclude electromagnetic interference. Environmental Check: Move the setup away from high-power electronic devices (such as WiFi routers or induction heaters) and large metal workbenches that may shield the signal.
